The girl fell onto the ground, tears rolling don her face. The rain soaked hr newy bought blouse, chillingher to the bone. Rocks stabbe into her stomach and legs, breaking he skin. Her blood mixed with the ater streaming around her and flowed away. She struggled to raise her eyes to see the man she had thought loved her.
"You filthy piece of shit," he growled down at her, his eyes filled withe hatred.
The man pulled back his foot to kick her hard in the stomach before getting back in his carriage and galloping away. The girl watched the back of the carriage disappear, tears flowing less and less as he got farther away.
Slowly, the girl rose, smirking softly as she wiped the forced tears from her face. Pulling down her skirt, she picked up the bag her ex-fiance had thrown at her when he had pushed her from the carriage. She began to walk through the pouring rain in search of a dry place to stay.
The gil saw a light ahead of where she was and rushed to it. She ran inside the pub, pulling a cloak from her bag and quickly covered her dirtied clothes.
Heads turned to stare at her as she began to walk to the counter. She sat on a stool beside a heavy-set man who paid her no attention at all.
"I would like some ale, please," she asked politely, grinning at the scraggly bartender.
He nodded, eyeing her as he filled a mug. Setting it in front of her, the man leaned forward and looked her up ad down, inspecting her. Standing up straight, the man turned and began to clean a mug.
"So, girl, what is a pretty 'lil thing like ye doing in a place like here?" he asked, frowning as she laughed.
"The bastard that had been my fiane threw me out!" she giggled, taking another swig of ale. "He decided he was too good for me, so him and his 'princely' self threw me from the carriage."
A flash of teeth startled the man as the girl smirked at him. She finished her ale and stood, cape flowing out from her body as she turned. Tossing some coins at the counter, the girl bagan to walk to the pub's exit. As she reached the door, the man from the bar shouted at her.
"Hey! Who are ye?" he yelled.
Turning her head slightly to look over her shoulder, the girl grinned, showing her pearly white teeth.
"I am the Goddess Athena."
